9 everyday items that need replacing more often than you think

With Amazon Prime Day here, big-ticket buys are on the shopping list for many – think air fryers, tech, early Christmas presents and fancy skincare solutions. But, it's also the perfect time to restock the hard-working, everyday essentials you use all year long. While some household items feel like they'll last forever, many have a shorter shelf life than expected. From toothbrushes that stop cleaning properly to pillows full of skin mites (the horror), knowing when to change specific items can keep your home cleaner, safer and healthier. Here are nine everyday items you should consider replacing regularly – along with the Amazon product on offer we suggest purchasing while it's discounted. Replace every: 3 months. The NHS recommends changing your toothbrush, or electric brush head, once the bristles start to splay. Worn bristles won't remove plaque effectively and can irritate gums. If you're looking to upgrade yours, the Oral-B models are consistently highly rated by users for a reason. Replace with: There's a variety of models and colours to choose from, and thanks to Prime Day, all at a hugely discounted price. For example, this Oral-B iO 3 option is reduced by over £80, and shoppers say it's "really good value for money" given the features and the difference it made. Replace every: 1–3 years. Even with frequent washing, bath towels gradually lose absorbency and can harbour bacteria and musty odours. According to Good Housekeeping UK, towels should be replaced every couple of years – especially if they feel rough, look frayed or never seem to smell fresh. Replace with: Prime Day is a great excuse to stock up on plush new ones. Customers love these Utopia Towels 4-pack, for their quality (they're made from 100% cotton), price and quick-drying absorbency (handy in the morning rush). They have over 17,000 reviews, with one shopper saying they feel "hotel quality". Descale every: 1-3 months Replace every: Five years. If you live in a hard water area, you've probably noticed white chalky build-up (limescale) inside your kettle. Which? recommends descaling regularly to keep it energy-efficient and safe to use. If your kettle takes ages to boil or smells odd, it's time to upgrade. Replace with: This Russell Hobbs Inspire Electric 1.7L Cordless Kettle comes highly recommended with 75% five-star reviews. Shoppers praise its sleek design, quiet, quick boiling time and practicality – it's easy to lift and fill thanks to the cordless design. Replace every: 1–2 years. Pillows gradually fill up with dust mites, sweat and skin cells. Even with frequent washing, allergens can remain inside the stuffing. Allergy UK advises replacing pillows yearly to reduce allergies and improve sleep quality. Replace with: These Adam Home Pillows 4 Pack are on Amazon UK's bestseller list for a reason; glowing reviews cite value for money, comfort (not too hard or too soft), with one customer saying they feel like "sleeping on a cloud." What could be better? Replace (or wash) every: Weekly or every few months if silicone. Porous sponges contain a multitude of bacteria and, because of the material, they can be harder to disinfect to ensure there are no nasties breeding. New bacteria grow on a wet sponge every 20 minutes, according to an expert. Replace with: Scrub Daddy sponges are made from a polymer foam (called FlexTexture) that resists absorbing water. This makes it less likely to trap moisture and breed bacteria. The sponge also stays firm in cold water for tough scrubbing and softens in warm water, making it versatile for different tasks without needing multiple sponges. Replace every: 7–10 years Even the best mattresses don't last forever. Over time, they lose support and can collect dust mites and allergens. The Sleep Council recommends replacing yours at least every 7+ years, or sooner if you wake up with aches, your mattress feels lumpy or you notice sagging. Replace with: This Emma Original Mattress has almost £100 off. The award-winning mattress (unlike traditional memory foam) adapts to your body shape and bounces back faster. Made with Airgocell foam, it offers enhanced airflow to keep you comfortable throughout the night. The bottom layer of High Resiliency Extra foam also provides added support for your back while you sleep. Replace every: 3-5 years Non-stick pans are kitchen staples, but the coatings don't last forever. Non-stick surfaces can start to degrade after a few years, especially if you use metal utensils or overheat them. Once the coating scratches or flakes, it's time to replace your pan. Replace with: The Ninja Zerostick Classic 24cm Frying Pan is compatible with all hob types, so you can have peace of mind knowing it's about to become your new cooking best friend, whether you have gas, electric, ceramic or induction Its non-stick coating has also been improved and features what Ninja calls 'Zerostick', which is extremely durable and backed by a 10-year guarantee. It's also scratch-resistant, and dishwasher safe for easy cleaning. Additionally, the pan is PFOA, lead, and cadmium free. Replace every: 2 weeks It's easy to leave your razor sitting in the shower, but did you know all that steam, hair and leftover shaving foam creates the perfect breeding ground for mould and bacteria, and can blunt your blades faster? If you're a daily shaver, you need to swap yours every couple of weeks. Replace with: This Gillette's Venus Extra Smooth Swirl Women's Razor comes with three refill blades, and its pivoting handle means you'll get a close shave without nicks and cuts (very important). Reviewers say it's especially gentle on sensitive skin and "feels fancy," so even a quick shave feels like a treat. Replace every: 2-5 years. Deep grooves from knife cuts can trap bacteria. The Food Standards Agency says you should replace boards when they become worn or heavily scratched, with wooden boards lasting around five years and the plastic variety around two years (though it depends largely on damage). Replace with: These Colour Coded Chopping Boards Sets are especially great to avoid cross-contamination or for separating veggie and meat meal prep. Customers rate its handy stand, and that they are dishwasher safe and easy to clean and good quality (so are not flimsy).

Best household essential deals in the Amazon Prime Day 2025 sale

Four days of savings on hundreds of household essentials means one thing: Amazon Prime Day 2025 is underway. Whether you're looking for laundry detergent, bathroom must-haves or cleaning supplies, the online giant has slashed the price of your weekly staples in its summer sale. As The Independent 's consumer editor, I'll be bringing you the best offers on the practical buys that you always need at home – think toilet roll, dishwasher tablets and pet food, which always seem to run out when you need them. To make sure that you're getting a genuinely good deal, I have even compared Amazon's Prime Day prices with supermarkets, so I can tell you if you're making a saving compared to picking up the items on your weekly shop. Having covered the shopping event since its launch, I can easily spot a good deal from a dud (and have even rounded up my top tips for shopping the summer sale). Keep reading for our expert picks of the best deals on household essentials. Prime Day is the perfect time to stock up on extra toilet paper. This deal on a pack of 24 toilet rolls will save you 16 per cent on the everyday essential. Andrex is a household name and needs little introduction, of course, but it's worth noting that its paper has been dermatologically tested and approved by the British Skin Foundation. Keeping your washing machine clean can help prolong its life, which is cost-effective in the long run, but it's also better for your laundry. A cleaner washing machine means cleaner clothes, after all. This pack of Calgon's washing machine cleaner and limescale remover is currently reduced by more than 40 per cent in the Prime Day sale. It's formulated to protect your machine against limescale build-up and detergent residue, and it should help to keep odours at bay, too. Buying everyday essentials, such as laundry detergent, in bulk can often help you save. This two-pack of Fairy non bio pods beats supermarket prices at the moment, so if you're nearing the end of your detergent, now is a good time to stock up. The liquid gel formula was named best laundry detergent for sensitive skin, with our reviewer, Zoe, praising its cleaning power. 'From everyday wear to tougher stains such as food spills and mud on kids' clothes, it left everything looking fresh and spotless,' she said. Clean up this whopping 70 per cent saving on Finish's dishwasher tablets, which has brought the pack down from a sizeable £40 to just £12. The brand claims the tablets can deal with 48-hour dried-on stains, so you don't need to waste water and time pre-rinsing your dishes. Glassware and silverware should come out looking sparkling clean too, thanks to the glass protect formula, while the fast-dissolving tablets mean they'll still be able to do their job on short and eco cycles. Every little saving can add up and make a real difference when it comes to household essentials, so it's worth adding these washing capsules to your Prime Day basket if you're running low. And if someone in your household has sensitive skin, these are ideal, as they're dermatologically tested and gentle next to sensitive skin. Persil says the tablets are its fastest-dissolving laundry detergent capsules. And, you can use them on a cold or fast wash without having to worry about residues. Each of pack in this six-pack of Dettol antibacterial cleaning wipes contains 126 wipes, so they should keep you going for a long time. Wipes are a quick and easy way to keep your home clean, and you can rest assured these ones don't contain any bleach. They can also be used on a multitude of surfaces, from the kitchen to baby equipment and even the floor. Olive oil has become very expensive, so we're excited to spot an offer on this bottle of Filippo Berio olive oil ahead of Prime Day. This is the lowest this size has ever dropped to, with plenty of olive oil for all your salad dressings, pasta dishes and barbecues this summer. If you love the taste of it, you can get it regularly delivered with Amazon's 'subscribe and save' option, too. Vanish is known for its stain-removing power, and when IndyBest tester reviewed its oxi action whitener, they were impressed with its ability to lift collar grime and food stains. This version doesn't include a whitener, but is perfect for shifting stains from darks and coloured clothing. With 55 per cent off, you won't find a cheaper deal on the 1.4kg pack elsewhere – even at the supermarket. The stain remover is also part of Amazon's 'You Buy. We Donate'campaign. For every two purchases of selected everyday essentials, Amazon will donate a third item to the Multibank charity, who distribute hygiene and household essentials to families in need across the UK. These baby wipes are made of 99.9 per cent water and a drop of fruit extract, so there'll be no mysterious chemicals on your baby's sensitive skin. We all know going through a pack of wipes a day becomes the norm with little ones around, but you can stock up on more than 700 wipes now for less than £25 from Amazon. Get 17 per cent off this XL pack of Dylon's black & dark detergent, which not only helps to stop your dark clothing from fading quite as quickly, but also revitalises existing items in just a few washes. The colour and sport detergents are also discounted at the moment too, if you find that you wash these more often. Now is the perfect time to stock up on batteries with lots of savings to be had, depending on the size that you need. There's currently 26 per cent off Duracell's bestselling Optimum AAA batteries, so you won't need to worry about running out anytime soon with this pack. You can currently get 30 per cent off this jumbo pack of laundry pods, designed to tackle set-in stains. If you've had enough last-minute supermarket runs to stock up on laundry supplies, you can set up a regular delivery of the pods through Amazon's subscribe and save service. This gives you a discount when you register, but remember to check every so often if you can get a better deal by switching brands. When is Amazon Prime Day 2025? The next Prime Day sale is underway. It kicked off on Tuesday, 8 July and will run until Friday (11 July). This is the first time Amazon has run a four-day sale, so there'll be plenty of time to shop deals on household essentials. What is Amazon Prime Day? Prime Day is Amazon's exclusive sale for its Prime members. It usually runs twice a year, once in the summer and again in the autumn before Black Friday sales begin. You can expect to find deals on beauty, laptops, kitchen appliances and everyday household essentials. Prime Day discounts are only available to Prime members. A membership typically costs £8.99 per month or £95 for the year, and if you're 18 to 22 years old, you can claim a 50 per cent discount.

Many retailers have flash sales across entire seasonal ranges – often these promotions tie into payday at the end of the month or Bank Holiday weekends, so keep a lookout. Sign up to mailing lists of your favourite brands and you'll be first to know of special offers. It can be worth following retailers on social media too.

And keep a close eye on the specialbuys at Aldi and middle of Lidl drops which drop a couple of times a week and usually mean great value seasonal items for your outdoor areas. If you are not in a hurry to buy an item, try adding it to the shopping cart online and leaving it for a couple of days. Sometimes big brands will try to tempt you into the sale by offering you a discount. And always check if you can get cashback before paying. It's especially worth using sites such as Topcashback, Quidco and app Jamdoughnut when buying bigger ticket items such as garden furniture as you'll get a nice kickback.
